Brent Rooker hits two-run home run, Lucas Erceg records second save as Oakland A’s defeat Miami Marlins.
Oakland Athletics pitcher JP Sears pitches against the Miami Marlins during the first inning of their MLB game at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Friday, May 3, 2024. OAKLAND — There were a trio of occasions on Friday night where the Marlins seemed poised to scratch across, at the minimum, a run or two against JP Sears. All three times, Sears, with a little help from his defense, slammed the door en route to turning in one of his finer starts of the year.
The outing was a bounceback for Sears, who allowed seven earned runs, tied for the most he’s surrendered in a single start, to the Orioles across 6 1/3 innings in his last appearance. The southpaw worked out of an even trickier jam in the following inning. The Marlins put runners at the corners with one out after Vidal Bruján doubled, then stole third as Myers drew a walk. With men at first and third, Sears induced a tailor-made 6-4-3 double play off the bat of Bryan De La Cruz to end another threat.
Added Rooker: “Super impressive outing for him tonight, which is what we’ve come to expect from him. We’re super comfortable when he’s out there. We have all the faith in the world in him, and he’s going to continue to have a good year.”
